Monday marked Day One in the trial of Noel Carter, whose arrest last year sparked allegations of Orlando police brutality.

Carter was inside the Orange County courtroom Monday, as jury selection began in the case.

Video shows an Orlando Police Department officer repeatedly kicking Carter outside a downtown nightclub before a second officer used a stun gun to shock him.

In his arrest report, Officer David Cruz, the officer seen kicking Carter, said he saw Carter grab his ex-girlfriend. Carter was also accused of ignoring officers' commands.

In October, State Attorney Jeff Ashton found the use of force was justified and said the officers would not face charges. That decision has sparked outrage among community activists fighting on Carter's behalf. They held a news conference outside the Orange County Courthouse Monday.

"This videotape clearly shows that Noel Carter's being beaten, but yet he's being charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, two of them, yet there's no video and it's only about their word," said Lawanna Gelzer, president of the Central Florida chapter of the National Action Network.

Carter is charged with two felonies -- resisting an officer with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer -- and two misdemeanors -- battery and resisting an officer without violence.

Both the prosecution and defense Monday asked prospective jurors about their experiences with and feelings about law enforcement.
